An interview with Saša Ilić, the head coach of "Sumgayit", to Sportal.az
- How is the team's preparation for the new season going?
- Everything is at a high level in Sumgayit and Gabala for training. I am satisfied with everything.
- Will there be transfers?
- We are in constant contact with the management. Some transfers are needed. The search continues. We are talking to the management about this.
- How many foreigners do you need?
- 12 foreigners will be enough for us. We will no longer have to pay fees and bring in the 13th or 14th.
- Some teams will bring in 10 foreigners and keep two for the winter...
- I think it's better if 12 people come now. You can't know what will happen in winter.
- Your team has already started test matches. Have you been able to instill your game philosophy in the team?
- We have been here for 12-15 days. It's not enough time to instill something. But we want to improve day by day. I think we will achieve something and be ready by the championship.
- What goal has been set for you?
- I think that as a head coach, I also have my own goal, to fight for high places. The squad must be formed. We'll see.
- You have signed a one-year contract. What are its positive and negative sides?
- If we have come here, we have come to change something. At the very least, we must be better than last year. We have even better goals than that. We want to take the team to the best places for the city of Sumgayit and the people working at the club.
- As a football player, you played for "Galatasaray". There are many "Galatasaray" fans in Azerbaijan. Do you have a message for them?
- In recent years, "Galatasaray" has been winning championships. They will also play in the Champions League this season. I wish them success. I have many friends there. I just wish them and their fans success.
- Given this point, do you feel a special sympathy for you on social networks or live after coming to "Sumgayit"?
- There is almost no problem. I was welcomed here. I am satisfied with everything.
